Making plans (2)

"It doesn't seem like the prince intends on joining us. If he has left the room, he must be hiding somewhere."

"He has friends in the palace so he might have greeted them. How many were eager to leave your wife on your wedding night? We mustn't disturb them," said Jeffrey.

Jeffrey knew not to expect to see Tobias for the rest of the night. The boy was eager to be with Hazel and if he weren't, Tobias wouldn't be thrilled to do any kind of drinking with the men present. 

"There is much to drink for. The wedding and the start of a new reign for a king. I hope we hear about a baby soon so we can drink again," Franklin said, raising his cup so the other men could join him.

"Come now, we mustn't put so much pressure on the two to have a child. There is much work to be done at the start. A child can come once they've settled in," said Grant.
